Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan to open London growth hub on November 20

What's the deal? Astana Hub and IT Park Uzbekistan will open a joint Eurasia Growth Hub in London on November 20 at an event called Digital Eurasia 2026. The hub targets startups from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan entering foreign markets.

What's the endgame? According to a post on Astana Hub's Telegram channel, the initiative aims to develop international partnerships, attract investment, and support founders expanding abroad. The event is scheduled for 17:00 UK time, with attendance requiring prior registration.

Why London? The city gives Central Asian startups a foothold in one of Europe's main financial and tech centres. Astana Hub gave no further programme details beyond naming London as the venue.

The signal: The joint hub marks a rare cross-border move by two Central Asian ecosystems pooling resources to reach Western investors and customers. It fits a broader push by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to build routes for their founders into foreign markets.
